"I never imagined it was the Immortal Ancestor. He must be silently protecting the Immortal Realm..."
Many cultivators from the Immortal Realm caught sight of the Immortal Ancestor from afar. Upon learning his true identity, many were so excited that they trembled with excitement and knelt down to pay their respects with utmost devotion.
Most of them had only heard the legends of the Immortal Ancestor in ancient books and had never seen him in person. Now, witnessing the Immortal Ancestor appear in person and protect Immortal Realm and quell the calamity together with Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable, their excitement was indescribable. They felt that the future of the Immortal Realm was full of hope.
" Great Heavenly Venerable! Immortal Ancestor! Our Immortal Realm is invincible!"
Countless Immortal Realm cultivators shouted, expressing all the joy and relief in their hearts, and many even had tears welling up in their eyes.
After all, the pressure from the Immortal-Exterminating Alliance was immense. Even though Han Xuanji's reputation was already great, it wasn't enough to resolve this crisis. This time, however, it truly refreshed everyone's understanding.
The Hunyuan Wuji, including Di Jiang, the Nirvana Dao Venerable, the Golden Crow Divine Ancestor, and the Spirit Mountain Buddha Ancestor, Immortal Realm also filled with excitement and exhilaration, praising him and speaking with reverence in their voices.
" Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable's suppression of four Hunyuan Wuji Perfection experts single-handedly is truly unprecedented and unparalleled!"
"With the Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable in charge and the Immortal Ancestor returning, our Immortal Realm will never again need to fear any calamity!"
The Heavenly Emperor gazed at the figure of the Immortal Ancestor, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He worried day and night about the safety of the Immortal Realm, fearing that the Immortal-Exterminating Alliance would annihilate Immortal Realm. Now that the Immortal Ancestor has returned and there is a peerless powerhouse like Han Xuanji in charge, the Immortal Realm has finally ushered in true peace. He no longer needs to worry about the safety of the Immortal Realm, and can finally put down the heavy burden of the Heavenly Emperor and pursue his own Great Dao with peace of mind.
On the other side, in the Chaos, many powerful beings were also observing this battle through various means. Among them were ancient Chaos Devil God, innate beings, and beings who had reached the perfect state of Hunyuan Wuji Perfection. At this moment, they were all in a state of extreme shock and could not speak for a long time.
Those ancient beings who usually held sway over their territories and were arrogant and domineering were now all silent with fear. Even the terrifying power of the Immortal-Exterminating Alliance was easily suppressed by Han Xuanji, so what ability did they have to fight against him?
"As long as the Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable remains untranscended, no one in the Chaos will dare to oppose the Immortal Realm!"
An ancient, Chaos Devil God murmured to himself, his tone filled with awe.
In the River of Spacetime, some ancient beings were shocked, but also felt it was expected. Many of them knew that Han Xuanji had suppressed the Spacetime Dao Ancestor not long ago...
In any case, those Hunyuan powerhouses who remain neutral have solemnly sworn in their hearts that they will never dare to provoke the Immortal Realm again, nor will they dare to have the slightest thought of offending Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable.
Han Xuanji's terrifying combat power was already deeply imprinted in their minds; to provoke such an existence was undoubtedly courting death.
In this era, Han Xuanji is revered, and among the Chaos masses, not a single person dares to harbor the thought of opposing him.
"It's over."
Han Xuanji moved swiftly and arrived beside the Heavenly Emperor.
"Yes, thank you very much, Heavenly Venerable Han, for your help..."
The Heavenly Emperor spoke, his tone respectful, his gaze sweeping over Han Xuanji, the Immortal Ancestor, and the others:
" The Immortal Ancestor has returned, Heavenly Venerable has turned the tide and quelled the Chaos calamity. Our Immortal Realm has finally ushered in peace."
I propose holding a grand banquet, firstly to welcome the Immortal Ancestor's triumphant return, secondly to celebrate this great victory, and thirdly, to discuss the post-war matters with all the seniors and fellow Daoists, and to jointly plan for the future of the Immortal Realm."
The Immortal Ancestor nodded slightly, his tone gentle:
" Haotian is absolutely right. This great victory is worth celebrating. I should also gather with all of you fellow Daoists to discuss the next steps."
"This humble feast has been hastily prepared; I humbly request your presence, senior."
Han Xuanji looked at the Supreme Divine Venerable and extended a sincere invitation as well.
The Supreme Divine Venerable is a man you can get along with; he comes as soon as you call.
They'll really step up if something happens.
The Supreme Divine Venerable nodded, his face full of smiles.
He was naturally happy to cultivate a good relationship with Han Xuanji, since he still needed Han Xuanji's help to achieve his transcendence.
Needless to say, the rest of the group, chatting and laughing, headed together to the Immortal Realm.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Emperor also led the powerful figures of the Immortal Realm to go together. Countless cultivators of the Immortal Realm could not hide their excitement, their eyes following the figures of the Immortal Ancestor and Han Xuanji closely, their eyes filled with reverence and anticipation.
High Heaven Hall, celestial music filled the air, auspicious clouds drifted in, countless celestial treasures were on display, the aroma of celestial wine wafted through the air, and the atmosphere was bustling with activity—a scene of unprecedented grandeur.
As early as when Han Xuanji swept away the Immortal-Exterminating Alliance, the Heavenly Emperor had notified some cultivators in advance and arranged a grand celebration banquet to invite those powerful individuals who had contributed to this great calamity.
It can be said that every named figure in the Immortal Realm, even those who only appear in legends, has come.
Han Xuanji's disciples also rushed to his Han Xuanji.
Jiang Hao, being the most forthright of them all, was the first to cup his hands and loudly proclaim:
"Master is mighty! He single-handedly suppressed four Hunyuan Wuji Perfection, shaking the very fabric of Chaos. This is unprecedented in history; no one has ever matched him since the beginning of Chaos!"
His tone was impassioned, his eyes filled with fervor, as if he wanted to shower Han Xuanji with every word of praise.
He used to think about surpassing his master, then he thought about helping his master, and now he only wants to say -- Master is invincible!
Li Taiqing followed closely behind, his tone sincere:
"Master has always been low-key and reserved, never easily revealing his strength. Today's battle has taught those clowns a lesson."
The other disciples echoed this sentiment, each offering their own praise, yet without appearing deliberately obsequious; their words were full of genuine respect.
Seeing this, the powerful Immortal Realm around them all smiled and echoed, even the Immortal Ancestor couldn't help but smile, his gaze towards Han Xuanji filled with a hint of amusement.
Han Xuanji himself remained seated beside the main seat, his expression calm and composed, his robes fluttering, exuding the aura of a master who was both aloof and unfathomable.
Faced with his disciples' flattery, he merely nodded slightly, his tone calm and unchanging.
"Alright, enough said. This great victory is the result of everyone's concerted efforts, Non-Self individual ability."
From now on, you should devote yourselves to cultivation and not just know how to flatter others while forgetting your own spiritual path.
Even so, a fleeting, almost imperceptible smile crossed Han Xuanji's eyes, so quick it was impossible to catch.
On the surface, he remained calm and composed, maintaining the composure and humility of a powerful figure, but inwardly he was overjoyed and secretly delighted.
"These kids, they know how to talk. It's kind of fun to show off like this once in a while."
The main reason is that Han Xuanji now has enough strength to back him up, so he doesn't need to worry about being embarrassed by his boasting.
Han Xuanji then praised everyone, especially Zhou Li.
His willingness to step forward in that situation earned him new respect.
Zhou Li was also somewhat excited. After all, Han Xuanji was a terrifying existence even stronger than he had been in his previous life. Being praised by such a powerful figure made him quite pleased.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, Xiao Hong secretly transmitted her voice to the Nirvana Dao Venerable:
" Ji Mie old bastard, do you see this? Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable is my current master! Apologize to me now!"
"You bastard, you suppressed me back then, and then you didn't even maintain the formation, almost causing me to be forever condemned to the Nether Sea..."
Xiao Hong didn't resent the Nirvana Dao Venerable for suppressing him; rather, she thought that this guy was completely unreliable, suppressing her and then abandoning her, almost killing her.
"Haha, little bird, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met your current master. I think you should be thanking me."
The Nirvana Dao Venerable chuckled but didn't explain why.
